   Have enjoyed reading about your experience! Your frustrations are very vivid and palpable from your writings. Loved your signs from the universe to reassure you that all was ok! Looking forward to the final installment!

   Michelle, you have a lot of stamina to go through the whole 10days. I guess a bit off stubbornness from one side of the family – got you through some of it. What an experience> I love the way you write and describe, its like we are there too. Can’t wait to hear the results. Thanks for sharing all the details with us.

   Thanks for sharing. I took the same course in BC last August and I am re-living my experience by reading about yours. I can relate to so much about what you are saying. Looking forward to hearing how you felt during the last feed days and when noble silence ended.

   WOW and WOW! I would agree with brave, I don’t know if I could have lasted. To sit through an hour of back pain and all those times you could not move for an hour, I can’t even sit still in church. Thank you so much for continuing to share this experience and the sense of humor sprinkled throughout it. I have enjoyed reading it.
